Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli make for one power couple and fans have been eager to hear wedding bells ring and while we've been hearing rumours of the same do the rounds, today we can assure all you hopeful fans that there indeed will be a wedding soon. Turns out that sources have confirmed the news of a wedding and we couldn't be gladder for them!
We recently brought to you that Anushka left for Italy from Mumbai on Thursday night with her family and Virat too, has followed. Sources now reveal that wedding celebrations will be held in Florence and Milan between the 9th and 12th of December. A source close to the family said, "The invitations have gone out to close friends and family. Only a few of Virat's friends from Delhi have been invited — one is his childhood buddy, who used to play league cricket with him, and the other, who has been advising him on his fitness."
Buzz also is that Virat has taken a break from cricket and won't be a part of the T20 or ODIs against Sri Lanka. However, he will lead Team India in the South Africa series. The cricketer has apparently also even requested not to be disturbed during his break. According to a film industry insider, Anushka too, much in advance, requested a filmmaker to not schedule her shoot for her upcoming project during December.
Another source revealed, "The couple has booked a SoBo five-star hotel for their reception on December 21 in Mumbai." Virat's manager Bunty Sajdeh, who is usually quick to dismiss such rumours, has been tight-lipped this time around. There was no response from him despite our repeated attempts till the time of going to press. Interestingly, he had flatly denied any such possibility in October, when the rumours first surfaced after news of Virat's alleged application of a spouse visa for South Africa went viral. Back then, Bunty had replied to us saying, "These are baseless rumours and there's no truth to it as far as I know."
Anushka's spokesperson too denied the rumours saying that they were untrue however buzz is that Anushka's family guru, Maharaj Anant Baba, too, is in Italy for the wedding. And when Devashish Anant from the guru's Haridwar ashram was contacted and asked if Anushka's guru had left for the wedding, he said, "Yes, Maharaj Anant Baba is not here, but I won't say anything else. I won't say yes, I won't say no." However, another source from the ashram confirmed that Anant Baba is in Europe for a wedding, but didn't divulge whose wedding it is. According to him, the guru's trip was planned weeks in advance.
Latest developments are that pre-wedding celebrations will be starting in Tuscany from today itself, while an uber luxurious hotel in Milan will host the couple's actual wedding, supposedly set to take place on the 12th.
This is the best news we've heard so far!
